Not sure if you have the skills for a STEM career? Ask STEMSCORE (Video)

Not sure if you have the skills to qualify for a job in the science, technology, engineering and math fields?

Coraopolis-based STEMscore recently launched as an online platform dedicated to help individuals assess their STEM skills and see what jobs they qualify for in the STEM field.

Based off of a model that was developed over the last decade and used as a tool to help military service members transition into civilian careers, you can take quick assessment tests to see where their strengths are and what careers match up.

"The key need behind STEMscore...centers around the pain that people feel today trying to qualify for jobs or find the right career," said Daniel Nichols, president of STEMscore.

The website is built around sets of competencies that relate to real-world job requirements. Nichols said it's not just for job seekers, as the site also targets employers and schools.

Hiring employers can create assessments by linking their job postings to the site's competency tests and can customize tests to meet their specific needs.

If a user finds that they may not qualify for a job right away, they can use the site to discover the type of training they will need to qualify.

"STEMscore is about not only helping an individual figure out do I really to do that job, but if I don't qualify, what do I actually need to do to improve skill-wise to then qualify for that job," Nichols said.
